Since Android 6 by default Toybox is part of any Android distribution. This Toybox release is restricted, means SU ( read: switch user and/or super user ) subcommand isn't supported. Hence all you have to do to get Android rooted is to replace pre-installed Toybox version by Toybox v0.8.5 what isn't restricted, will say contains SU support.
This can get achieved by means of ADB: neither Fastboot nor any Custom Recovery or similar is needed.

Hi help me on finding root firmware for X96q android tv device??
A so-called "root firmware" doesn't exist for any mobile device. What do you plan to do with the device?
BTW:
A device's Android can be considered to be rooted if SU binary is present in Android.
@jwoegerbauer my android tv device does nto give admin previllage to my app.So i want give admin previllage
Device is running Android 10, correct?
If yes, then getting the superuser access ( Admin privileges ) through the root and to be able to control various aspects of Android OS means you need to perform a certain modification that will root your TV Box's Android and you will have access to the system files of your device.
Here is what you have to do to root your device's Android: Replace Android's Toybox binary - what is a restricted version by default - by unrestricted Toybox v0.8.5. This can get achieved by means of ADB.
@jwoegerbauer how can i replace Replace Android's Toybox binary
Hello, I am a backend developer but still when it comes to Android, rooting, bootloading ecc. I am a perfect noob.
I tried to Root my Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) in many ways but I always come back to the normal factory system.
TWRP glitches, shuts down the mobile (I cannot even unlock the screen and the reading permissions.
Are there any other options to root my device other than custom roms or recovery projects?
Any help is welcome.
If your device's Android is version 5 and higher then getting the superuser access to be able to control various aspects of Android OS means you need to perform a certain modification that will root your phone's Android and you will have access to the /system directory of your device.

Well, how can I change the Toybox binaries in the system partition if my device is not rooted? As far as I know to do so the device must be already rooted.
You simply install a Tempory ROOT what's matching device's CPU-architecture
Code:
adb devices
adb push <PATH-TO-SUITABLE-SU-BINARY-HERE> /data/local/tmp/

Toybox v0.8.5 is available here:

I have looked into rooting, and I don't understand how it works, but from what I can tell, shouldn't people be able to root using adb to change a file that is run regularly in /system, so that whenever it runs it would grant a given app root perms, and that app would then be able to give others root perms? would you have to change the file another way because adb doesn't run commands as root? wouldn't this be alot more simple than what has been being done?
Rooting a phone''s Android technically is simply adding standard Linux function SU ( read: Switch User ) to Android's ecosystem.
Once SU got added and you run the file without any other parameters it switches your credentials and permissions from a normal user to that of the superuser ( comparable to Administrator on Windows OS ). You are then in complete control and can add anything, remove anything and access functions on your phone that you couldn't reach before.
BTW:
With Android versions 6 and higher all what is needed is to replace the pre-installed ( restricted ) Toybox binary with an unrestricted Toybox binary ( e.g. 0.8.5 ) that contains the SU-cmdlet.
If I am understanding this, than you need to grant an app SU, but first you have to install the command that allowes giving of SU? or turn on that command (on android 6+), and grant a manager app permission to use it?
